Month: July 2016

Finally, I’ve done these swatches and had the time to write a post about them. This collection consists of 15 polishes, 14 cremes and one shimmer. Three of them are LE; Kerry Blossom, “Liv” in the Gray & Inside the Isabelletway.
The whole collection is perfect in formula which is a relief, we expect perfection from OPI and here you have it. There are also a whole bunch of one coaters. 😱 For real!

I love cremes and these muted fall colours are perfect when you tire of pastels and neons. With no more preamble, here they are.

OPI INSIDE THE ISABELLETWAY (LE)

This is one coat of caramel creme goodness. The sticker is from Hex Nails. It’s one of the Limited edition polishes in the collection.

Here I used two coats of this muted dusty yellow. Excellent fall colour to match the autumn leaves.

One coat AGAIN. You’re probably going to get tired of me gushing about all the colours so let me just say: I love them all! Stamping made with MoYou plate Bridal 06.

OPI SUZI – THE FIRST LADY OF NAILS

Two coats of this army green. Surprisingly I liked this colour more than I thought I would.

OPI YANK MY DOODLE

Two coats of this orange brick red. I’m really digging these dusty muted cremes, they’re more flattering than they looked at first glance.

OPI WE THE FEMALE

Two coats. A dusty red that probably hasn’t got a match in my red drawer. The unicorn charm is from Hex Nails.

OPI SQUEAKER OF THE HOUSE

Love this greige, I found it a bit thinner than the others is the formula. Still good though, and I used two coats here. Pattern is a stencil from SnailVinyls.

OPI PALE TO THE CHIEF

OPI PALE TO THE CHIEF

This pale nude has a slight shimmer to it which makes it stand out against all the other solid cremes. I used two coats.

OPI STAY OFF THE LAWN!

Yet another one coater, a lovely dark green.

One coat. Again! Awesome sauce OPI. And I love a berry red, they make me happy. The sticker is from HexNails.

OPI CIA=COLOUR IS AWESOME

If you do a slightly thickish coat it’s another one coater. This grey/green blue is so gorgeous and makes me wanna bundle up and prepare for fall.

OPI KERRY BLOSSOM (LE)

I’m in love with this one. Two coats of purple plum beauty.

Two coats and another dusty shade.

OPI SCHH… IT’S TOP SECRET

OPI SCHH… IT’S TOP SECRET

This dark brown shifts from greyish to red in the undertones. Simply gorgeous. Two coats.

For all of the swatches I used the new OPI Plumping top coat, I’ll try to get a separate post on that later.

My impression of this collection is simply WOW. Excellent formula throughout and with so many one coaters, unprecedented! Even the polishes I thought looked blah in the bottle made me go ooohhh on the nails.
